Feast Information
This year's feast will continue our commitment to providing
incredible quality and quantity of period foods with an eye
towards modern culinary tastes and dietary considerations to
celebrate the New Year. Not only that, but as usual, the Feast
Stewards are attempting to make certain that dietary pathways
through the feast are provided for the following requirements:
Gluten intolerance, diabetes, vegetarian, and a small handfull of
alergies. If you should have dietary considerations that you'd
like to make the Feast Stewards aware of in advance that might make
your feasting more enjoyable, please don't hesitate to let
them know as soon as possible. Likewise, should you have an alergy
and wish to know which dishes to feast on, or to avoid,
please ask.

It will be for the site if the site can be found, but this again is not always the case, and if the site is some distance from the branch then the weather may be different.
